Description
These are pencil pleat curtains in a plain, soft green chenille, sold as a pair and available across eight sizes from 117 x 137cm up to 229 x 229cm. The face and lining are both polyester, and the fabric is a blackout weave, so the panel does the work of blocking light on its own without a separate lining layer to buy or fit. The finish is a matt chenille with a close, slightly textured surface rather than any sheen, which is what gives the drape its soft, even fall in the photographs.
A pencil pleat heading suits most standard tracks and poles, gathering the fabric into neat folds that you draw up to the width you need with the cord. The blackout weave makes these a sensible choice for a bedroom, a nursery or a living room where you want to darken the room for sleep, film-watching or daytime naps. In the setting shown the green sits comfortably against warm neutral walls and a wooden floor, and it holds its own beside stronger colours such as the deep red chair pictured alongside it.
Because both the face and the lining are polyester, the fabric is hard-wearing and holds its shape well over repeated drawing back and forth. Getting the size right matters more than usual with curtains: the first figure is the width of each panel and the second is the drop, so measure your track or pole and your desired length before choosing. Pick a width that gives you generous gather when the curtains are closed. The plain green makes them easy to pair with patterned cushions, throws or a bolder feature chair.

Frequently Asked
Do these curtains block out the light?
Yes, the fabric is a blackout weave, so the panels block daylight to help darken a bedroom or nursery for sleep and naps.
Do I need to buy a separate lining?
No, these are lined already with a polyester lining, so the pair arrives ready to hang without an extra lining to add.
How do I choose the right size?
The first figure is the width of each panel and the second is the drop, so measure your track or pole and your finished length before ordering.
Will a pencil pleat heading fit my track or pole?
A pencil pleat heading gathers onto standard tracks and poles using hooks, and the cord lets you draw the width in to suit your window.
What does the chenille feel like?
Chenille has a soft, close pile with a matt surface rather than a shine, giving a warm texture and an even, weighty drape.
